Lapses of responsiveness: Characteristics, detection, and underlying mechanisms

Lapses in responsiveness (`lapses'), particularly microsleeps and attention lapses, are complete disruptions in performance from ~0.5-15 s. They are of particular importance in the transport sector in which there is a need to maintain sustained attention for extended periods and in which lapses...

Description
Summary:Lapses in responsiveness (`lapses'), particularly microsleeps and attention lapses, are complete disruptions in performance from ~0.5-15 s. They are of particular importance in the transport sector in which there is a need to maintain sustained attention for extended periods and in which lapses can lead to multiple-fatality accidents.
